Problem with Display in OS 3.9

videofx · 24 July 2013, 04:40

I am using an A4000D with onboard video and I am trying to use HDtools to create a partition on my CF. I am booting off the Emergency Floppy I created from the 3.9 install CD. I set screen mode to 640X200. Now I load HDToolBox but the right and bottom of the screen is cut off and I try to scroll to the right and down I cant. The buttons are on part the part of the screen that I cant see or scroll.

WB 3.1 no problem. everything displays correctly.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Run Prefs/Screenmode, untick the "default" checkbox for width and height, enter 800 for width and 600 for height and enable autoscroll. Then it should fit and automatically scroll if you move the mouse towards the border.

Hi Thomas,

That didnt work because after I change the settings only the test button is visible. I can t click USE or SAVE so it doesn't work

Just press U on the keyboard for use or S for save.

Also check your font settings. They are far too big for your small screen.

I should have thought of changing the font. You were right! I changed the system font from 13pt to 10pt and all the buttons in every window now appear!

Thanks Thomas!
